There used to be kids, wherever we drove, who would hide at the sides of the road and throw stones at me and the car I was in. I'd always peek out of the windows, looking for them, but I never caught a glimpse. They must be extremely good at hiding, I guessed.
Not until much later did I realise that the stones thrown by these evil kids were just the tyres throwing up gravel against the car.
